Straight Edge Tile Trims – Clean, Durable Protection for Tile Edges
Straight edge tile trims are versatile L-shaped tile edging strips engineered to protect and finish exposed tile edges on walls, floors, and external corners. These trims ensure a professional, clean transition where tiles meet other surfaces such as vinyl, wood, or carpet, preventing chips, cracks, and unsightly cuts while elevating the overall look of your tiling project.
Why Use Straight Edge Tile Trims?
- Edge protection & durability: Trim profiles act as a buffer to absorb impacts and keep tile edges intact in high-traffic or wet areas.
- Professional finish: Covers raw or uneven tile cuts, giving a sleek, polished border around tiled areas.
- Moisture resistance: Helps reduce water ingress at exposed edges—especially important in bathrooms, kitchens, and splashbacks.
- Design flexibility: Available in a range of materials and finishes to match your aesthetic, from contemporary metal trims to minimalist profiles.
Where Straight Edge Tile Trims Are Used
Straight edge trims are ideal for finishing and protecting exposed tile edges in most tiled environments, including:
- External corners and part-tiled walls
- Kitchen and bathroom splashbacks
- Window reveals and niches
- Floor-to-floor or tile-to-other-floor transitions
Their minimalist profile also makes them a popular choice for contemporary interiors where seamless transitions and crisp lines matter.
Materials, Finishes & Design Options
Our straight edge trims are stocked in durable materials such as:
- Aluminium: Lightweight yet strong, ideal for modern designs
- Stainless steel: Excellent corrosion resistance for wet areas
- Brass: Adds a premium, warm metallic finish
Finishes range from brushed and chrome to colour-matched and satin styles, letting you coordinate trim with tile colour, grout lines, or other interior fittings.
Installation & Compatibility

When installed correctly, edge trims protect against moisture ingress and help extend the lifespan of your tiling project.
